1 Aš pakėliau akis ir regėjau skrendantį raštų ritinį.

2 Angelas klausė: "Ką matai?" Aš atsakiau: "Matau skrendantį ritinį dvidešimties uolekčių ilgio ir dešimties pločio".

3 Angelas aiškino: "Tai prakeikimas, einantis per visą žemę. Kiekvienas vagis ir melagingai prisiekiantis bus teisiamas pagal tai, kaip ten parašyta.

4 ‘Aš jį pasiunčiau,­sako kareivijų Viešpats,­į vagies namus ir į melagingai prisiekiančio mano vardu namus, kad juos sunaikintų iš pamatų’ ".

5 Po to angelas, kuris kalbėjo su manimi, išėjo priekin ir man tarė: "Pakelk savo akis ir pažiūrėk, ką matai".

6 Aš klausiau: "Kas tai yra?" Angelas atsakė: "Tai indas, kuris vaizduoja viso krašto nuodėmę".

7 Švininis dangtis pakilo, ir štai inde sėdėjo moteris.

8 Angelas tarė: "Tai nedorybė". Jis ją įstūmė atgal į indą ir uždengė.

9 Pakėlęs akis, pamačiau dvi moteris. Vėjas buvo jų sparnuose, kurie buvo panašūs į gandro sparnus. Jos pakėlė indą aukštyn.

10 Aš klausiau angelo: "Kur jos neša indą?"

11 Jis atsakė: "Šinaro krašte jam bus pastatyti namai. Ten jis bus padėtas ant savo pamato".

1 Then again lifting up my eyes I saw a roll in flight through the air.

2 And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, A roll going through the air; it is twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.

3 Then he said to me, This is the curse which goes out over the face of all the land: for long enough has every thief gone without punishment, and long enough has every taker of false oaths gone without punishment.

4 And I will send it out, says the Lord of armies, and it will go into the house of the thief and into the house of him who takes a false oath by my name: and it will be in his house, causing its complete destruction, with its woodwork and its stones.

5 And the angel who was talking to me went out and said to me, Let your eyes be lifted up now, and see the ephah which is going out.

6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah which is going out. And he said further, This is their evil-doing in all the land.

7 And I saw a round cover of lead lifted up; and a woman was seated in the middle of the ephah.

8 And he said, This is Sin; and pushing her down into the ephah, he put the weight of lead on the mouth of it.

9 And lifting up my eyes I saw two women coming out, and the wind was in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they took the ephah, lifting it up between earth and heaven.

10 And I said to the angel who was talking to me, Where are they taking the ephah?

11 And he said to me, To make a house for her in the land of Shinar: and they will make a place ready, and put her there in the place which is hers.
